"it came to be known as ""Extreme Unction"", i.e. ""Final Anointing"", administered as one of the Last Rites. The other Last Rites are Confession (if the dying person is physically unable to confess, at least absolution, conditional on the existence of contrition, is given), and the Eucharist, which when administered to the dying is known as ""Viaticum"", a word whose original meaning in Latin was ""provision for a journey"". Holy Orders is the Sacrament by which a man is made a bishop, a priest, and thus dedicated to be an image of Christ, or as a deacon, dedicated for service"
"as ""Viaticum, the Last Sacrament of the Christian"". The oil used in the sacrament is usually olive oil, though other oils may also be used. It is blessed by the bishop of the diocese at the Chrism Mass he celebrates on Holy Thursday or on a day close to it. In case of necessity, the priest administering the sacrament may bless the oil within the framework of the celebration. In the Roman Rite of the Latin Church, the priest anoints the sick person's forehead and hands with oil (usually in the form of a cross), saying: ""Through this holy anointing,"
"oil used (called ""oil of the sick"" in both West and East) is blessed specifically for this purpose. An extensive account of the teaching of the Catholic Church on Anointing of the Sick is given in ""Catechism of the Catholic Church"", 1499–1532. Anointing of the Sick is one of the seven Sacraments recognized by the Catholic Church, and is associated with not only bodily healing but also forgiveness of sins. Only ordained priests can administer it, and ""any priest may carry the holy oil with him, so that in a case of necessity he can administer the sacrament of anointing"
"Anointing of the Sick has as its effects: The duly blessed oil used in the sacrament is, as laid down in the Apostolic Constitution Sacram unctionem infirmorum, pressed from olives or from other plants. It is blessed by the bishop of the diocese at the Chrism Mass he celebrates on Holy Thursday or on a day close to it. If oil blessed by the bishop is not available, the priest administering the sacrament may bless the oil, but only within the framework of the celebration. The Roman Rite Anointing of the Sick, as revised in 1972, puts greater stress than"
"the office of the unction. Among some Protestant bodies, who do not consider it a sacrament, but instead as a practice suggested rather than commanded by Scripture, it is called anointing with oil. In the Greek Church the sacrament is called Euchelaion (Greek Εὐχέλαιον, from εὐχή, ""prayer"", and ἔλαιον, ""oil""). Other names are also used, such as ἅγιον ἔλαιον (holy oil), ἡγιασμένον ἔλαιον (consecrated oil), and χρῖσις or χρῖσμα (anointing). The Community of Christ uses the term administration to the sick. The term ""last rites"" refers to administration to a dying person not only of this sacrament but also of"

In Greece, during the Ottoman occupation, it became the custom to administer this Mystery annually on Great Wednesday to all believers; in recent decades, this custom has spread to many other locations.

The sacrament has also been known by various other names in Western Christianity throughout the years, including: the holy oil or unction of the sick; the unction or blessing of consecrated oil; the unction of God; the officeM of the unction. In the Eastern Church it is technically known as ""euchelaion"" (i.e., prayer-oil); other names used include: ""elaion hagion"" (holy oil), ""hegismenon elaion"" (consecrated oil), ""elaiou chrisis"" (anointing with oil), ""chrisma"" (anointing).

Oil of the Infirm is used for administration of the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick (known as Extreme Unction in the extraordinary form of the Roman Rite), the ritual treatment of the sick and infirm through anointment. Sacred Chrism is used in the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Holy Orders. It is also used in the dedication of new Churches, new Altars, and in the consecration of new patens and chalices for use in Mass. In the case of the Sacrament of Baptism, it must be noted"
"Anointing of the sick Anointing of the sick, known also by other names, is a form of religious anointing or ""unction"" (an older term with the same meaning) for the benefit of a sick person. It is practiced by many Christian churches and denominations. Anointing of the sick was a customary practice in many civilizations, including among the ancient Greeks and early Jewish communities. The use of oil for healing purposes is referred to in the writings of Hippocrates. Anointing of the sick should be distinguished from other religious anointings that occur in relation to other sacraments, in particular baptism,"
"Extreme Unction, c. 1638–1640 Extreme Unction (or ‘Final Anointing’) is one of a set of seven scenes representing the sacraments of the Catholic Church, painted between 1638 and 1640 by the French artist Nicolas Poussin (1594–1665). Commissioned in Rome by the renowned connoisseur Cassiano dal Pozzo, the scene depicts a dying man being anointed with oil in accordance with the rites of the early Roman church. To enhance the realism of the scene, Poussin drew on his extensive study of the art and artefacts of classical antiquity to represent the costumes, setting, and the structure of the painting itself, with"
"Chrism Chrism, also called myrrh, myron, holy anointing oil, and consecrated oil, is a consecrated oil used in the Anglican, Armenian, Assyrian, Catholic and Old Catholic, Eastern and Oriental Orthodox, and Nordic Lutheran Churches in the administration of certain sacraments and ecclesiastical functions. The English ""chrism"" derives from Koine Greek via Latin and Old French. In Greek, ""khrîsma"" () was originally the verbal noun (""(the act of) anointing,"" ""unction"") of (""anoint""). By extension, along with ""khrîma"" (), ""khrîstai"" (), and later ""khrísma"" (), it came to be used for the anointing oil or ointment itself. ""Khrísma"" came into Latin as"
"the soul is free from her. With baptism was also connected the anointing with oil, and hence we can also understand the death sacrament occurring among some Valentinians consisting in an anointing with a mixture of oil and water. This death sacrament has naturally the express object of assuring the soul the way to the highest heaven “so that the soul may be intangible and invisible to the higher mights and powers”. In this connection we also find a few formulae which are entrusted to the faithful, so that their souls may pronounce them on their journey upwards. One of"
"In the New Testament, John describes ""anointing from the Holy One"" and ""from Him abides in you"". Both this spiritual anointment and literal anointment with oil are usually associated with the Holy Spirit. Eastern Orthodox churches in particular attach great importance to the oil said to have been originally blessed by the Twelve Apostles. The practice of ""chrismation"" (baptism with oil) appears to have developed in the early church during the later 2nd century as a symbol of Christ, rebirth, and inspiration. The earliest surviving account of such an act seems to be the letter written ""To Autolycus"" by Theophilus,"

The first two are said to be blessed, while the chrism is consecrated. The Oil of Catechumens is used to anoint the catechumens (adults preparing for reception into the church) just before their receipt of the Sacrament of Baptism. Infants receiving the Sacrament of Baptism are also anointed with that same oil during the rite of Baptism, just before receiving the Sacrament.

Evangelical Protestants who use anointing differ about whether the person doing the anointing must be an ordained member of the clergy, whether the oil must necessarily be olive oil and have been previously specially consecrated, and about other details. Several Evangelical groups reject the practice so as not to be identified with charismatic and Pentecostal groups, which practice it widely.

However, if this purification is not achieved in life, venial sins can still be purified after death.
